I have a home automation system that will close the blinds on sun down. This can occur when the house is unoccupied. I want to avoid false triggering. What would be the easiest method of disabling the PIR detectors while the blinds close then reseting them once the operation is finished? The automation system is X-10 so it could be used through the relay module or is it possible for comfort to monitor the state of an x-10 unit

Thanks

Lenny

In the same Time Program, you can bypass the zone and trigger the X10 to close the blinds. then use a timer for say 30 seconds for the blinds to stop moving to unbypass the zone again
